My wife has a friend/acquaintence/mentor that was working closely with him to promote his thang and simulataneously promote her thang.

My take on it is: liquidity and volatility are polar opposites. 

It’s astonishing to me that some gurus still promote dishonest practices in wholesaling.Don’t rush to blame wholesalers, though.

Also did not know a possible payment method could be so polarizing.

When and if sponsor's company is discussed hundreds of times on an online forum, and they are obviously out there raising capital and publicly promoting their business, they are not pretending not to notice hundreds of negative discussions on BiggerPockets and failing to engage entirely.

While I can’t promote my company directly, I’m looking to connect with cash buyers in key markets such as Florida, Arizona, Michigan, Alabama, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully built relationships with cash buyers.What strategies or platforms have you found most effective for connecting with them?

I’ve received only self-promotions from PMs or people affiliated with PMs.

In all fairness, I have never participated in their mastermind group, but I have been pitched grossly over priced so called education programs from people that spend more time promoting and exaggerating what they’ve done in the hopes of getting a check from me with 5 zeros.

When I see these new posters do nothing but recommend the same company in every post and not participate on the site in any other way, I get very suspicious.If you newbies have affiliations with these companies you're promoting, I suggest you disclose it.

A TI factory is being build in Sherman, and other developments around Lake Texoma promote growth in the area.
